The proposal by Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel aims to prohibit robocall scams under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), a 1991 law regulating automated political and marketing calls made without the receivers’ consent.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has made a proposal considering calls featuring AI-generated voices as illegal, subject to the regulations and penalties outlined in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) in a Jan. 31 announcement.
The announcement by the FCC Chairwoman follows a false message generated using artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate President Joe Biden’s voice, advising New Hampshire residents against voting in the state’s primary election.
The automated messages featuring President Joe Biden's voice were generated to meddle in the 2024 presidential election. However, the state’s attorney general’s office denounced the calls as misinformation.
